"Vicki" and I became friends in junior high school. I always loved and admired her spirit of adventure and her passion for loving. We renewed our friendship thru the help of Facebook...and I will be forever grateful. Vicki had a special gift for just knowing how to lift your spirits. It was evident thru our emails and messages that she loved her family with all of her heart. I am so grateful, Brian, that she had you to love her. And her 4 girls...she loved and admired each of you, along with the precious grandchildren that you blessed her life with to love. Vicki and I shared a fondness for dancing...and we would always end our emails/messaes with the word "don't forget to dance". I will always smile and think of Vicki every time I dance...in the kitchen, in the rain, with my grandchildren....and I will think of each of you as well. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing Vicki with all of us. Love, Connie Wilson Herring

I went to school with Vicki in junior high and high school.Lost track of her until a few months ago. We reconnected on Facebook and stayed in touch regularly.She was a wonderful person and was living a good life. I miss talking to her now, and I will always miss her friendship. She said she was coming back home next year amd I was looking forward to visiting with her. She loved my music posts and told me which ones she liked best.I passed through Riverside, CA many times years ago while driving for a living. Never dreamed a dear sweet friend would be laid to rest there. You know, she was right, she was a true "Southern Belle". Soar above us dear friend,we will chat again. My sincerest condolences and prayers to the family.

I too went to school with Vicki @ Linwood and Woodlawn.When we reconnected last year on Facebook I knew she was still the same sweet & funny girl I went to schoold with. There's definately another angel in heaven, she's smiling,dancing, & watching over her friends & family "just checking on us to be sure we are OK...Will miss you Vicki....Becky

I too went to Jr. High with Vicki. She whe was such a sweet friend to me and I will never forget her. My prayers are with all of her family during your time of grief and sorrow.

Even though she's gone
her memory still remains in our hearts.
Her smile and face will never fade.
We think of her as we go on each day.
The good times we remember
and the days spent together
will be in our memories forever.
So when you start to get down
and you really want to cry
just think of the fun times.
Vicki McClendon we love you
and we miss you so much.
